Is it happy hour yet? Low-cal margarita links
It's almost Cinco de Mayo, which is, unfortunately, one of my favorite holidays to celebrate because, even though it packs a lot of calories, I really love Mexican food. And, what good is an enchilada without a margarita?
In case your mouth is watering just thinking about a cold, delicious margarita (because, honestly, mine is watering just writing about it), I've pulled together some links that look like good options. They'll keep your calories lower than a regular margarita, but it's no free pass -- most of these still pack over 100 calories per serving. But, if you have a recipe you dig, share the love! And feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Ah, one of my favorite drinks :) The problem with most restaurant margaritas is they are chiefly composed with the standard sweet and sour mix, which is more sweet than sour, and probably (if I had to guess) mostly corn syrup (and hence way too sweet, and way too unhealthy). I like to make my own ala the "Perfect Margarita" from Jimmy Buffet, found here:

The Triple Sec and Orange Curacao add some sweetness, and the fresh limes make it extra yummy and fresh! Rim your glass with sea salt to get some extra minerals :)
Cheers!
